Ezra Levant

~ EXRA LEVANT WONDERS— “Is Richard Warman ashamed of himself?” Shaidle here: “Actually, “Canada’s most litigious man” doesn’t keep track of them very well. My attorney and I are still waiting for my Statement of Claim” …. (ezralevant.com, fivefeetoffury)

~ DENYSE O’LEARY— “If I had heard the word “denormalizing” from a sociology prof, instead of from Ezra Levant, the courageous Canadian lawyer who is working to bring down Canada’s unspeakable “human rights commissions”*, I would just groan”; and “The Human Rights Commissions: A tyrannosaur – big and bad and should be dead” …. (post-darwinist.blog)

“I believe that human rights commissions are being sufficiently denormalized in the court of public opinion that it’s time to put pressure on politicians to do something about it. In other words, we should continue to expose the corrupt practices of the Dean Steacys and Richard Warmans of this world. But we should start to move the pressure to the people who are supposed to be in charge of the whole thing — and, in the case of the CHRC, that’s Rob Nicholson. I’m a Conservative partisan, but my love is not so blind that I can defend Nicholson’s inaction — though, given that a lawyer from Nicholson’s department is actively intervening for the CHRC in the Lemire case, I don’t think we can even say the Tories are neutral or inactive in this matter.”
